From The Rivals by Richard Brinsley Sheridan

female · comedic · 1:04 min

So--I shall have another rival to add to my mistress's list--Captain Absolute. However, I shall not enter his name till my purse has received notice in form. Poor Acres is dismissed!--Well, I have done him a last friendly office, in letting him know that Beverley was here before him.--Sir Lucius is generally more punctual, when he expects to hear from his dear Delia, as he calls her: I wonder he's not here!--I have a little scruple of conscience from this deceit; though I should not be paid so well, if my hero knew that Delia was near fifty, and her own mistress. Sir LUCIUS Ha! my little ambassadress--upon my conscience, I have been looking for you; I have been on the South Parade this half hour.
